Turner can easily justify continuing after one term. He will only need to claim that retiring was 100% his plan but that the good people of the district begged him to stay. And in that case he will sacrifice his retirement to serve them.

I don’t know much about her and certainly don’t have anything against her, but man she needs to find a race that’s a slam dunk to win and do that for a few years. The current plan of running for every open job and winning none of them is getting a little ridiculous.

Of course. Tale as old as time. “The job’s not done yet!”

Turner may be a grifter, but he went to Austin and heavily lobbied against CenterPoint's boondoggle purchase of $800 million in inflated, useless generators.  Even if he was just pissed that he wasn't getting a piece of the pie, he tried to help us.

Have mixed feelings about Turner. I agree with some of his stances in Houston especially how he fought the firefighters on compensation. The city overwhelming voted for fire dept pay increases but while simultaneously asking for property tax decreases. Mainly Turner kicked the can down the road on many of Houston's tough issues but so does every mayor in almost every city.

Turner has removed himself from the special election ballot (for the final 2 months of the term). I’m guessing that will go to her daughter

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like a bad idea to name an airport terminal after someone who is now famous for being late.
